You know that as soon as you entertain the idea that there is a God, you have crossed into the metaphysical world. At this point you have no grounds for objecting to the existence of any super-natural extraterrestrial being, (angels, archangels, Satan, demons etc.) :angel:

God is NOT all those things, but he is like them. There is a difference.

Objecting? I dunno. There's more to our lives than meets the eye, sure. As far as angels and demons go, I tend to believe the Christian idea of such entities is probably a crock.
Remember, I'm agnostic: I haven't made my mind up one way or another. I prefer to be skeptical about just about everything I encounter.
Well Granite, If God does not enable you to believe before you die, you are doomed to spend eternity in the lake of fire. Jonathan Edwards has a few words of warning for you:

But you've got to admit, he was a heck of a preacher! Try reading some of his stuff out loud, it produces phenomenal effects in those brainwashed by Christian doctrine.Originally posted by granite1010
Art, tell me something I don't know. I was a five-point Calvinist before my apostasy, you really think Edwards is something new?

Oh, very stirring. I would've liked to actually see the guy deliver a sermon.
Mmmm. Good old days. Oral Roberts and Mr. Pat himself don't handle a candle up to the old timers. Gimme some spiderwebs and hellfire, man! At least keep things interesting. Appealing for money would have insulted Edwards and Company. Scare 'em stiff. The Wes Craven of Calvinism, so to speak.
You're reading it with dead spiritual eyes. I was hoping the fear of God would break through your dearly beloved apostasy. Sorry... :angel:granite1010 said:Art, tell me something I don't know. I was a five-point Calvinist before my apostasy, you really think Edwards is something new?
Jonathan Edwards was a man of deeply held convictions not the pasty faced sensitive types in body hose that inhabit the pulpits of America today. Edwards spoke under the inspiration and authority of the Holy Spirit. His sermons would have driven the casual Christians out of their chapels screaming for relief. Coming under conviction is uncomfortable for most people. :angel:granite1010 said:
